The legacy driver interface included an auth() function which had input parameters username, password, database, and an output parameter errorMessage, and a boolean return type. In case of an authentication error the function would return false and errorMessage would contain the information. The mongocxx v3 driver doesn’t have a function, but rather a defined mongocxx::authentication_exception, so normally I’d suspect that in case of an authentication failure the driver would simply throw, and the message would be housed in e.what(). I tried to search the entire codebase for where this exception is being thrown and I couldn’t find it. What is the case here?
Thanks in advance!
